Tips to Help You Pass Your Advanced Driving Test

Hopefully this video will answer most of your questions about advanced driving tests. If you've any questions, please post them in the comments section.

Many thanks for the tips. As a car driver with 45 years experience and having driven all over the world, I concur totally with your statement about the fact that you never stop learning. I haven't! Having been put on hold for the last couple of years, waiting to continue with my driver training, I am at last taking my Advanced Driving Test in mid December. Before then, I'll will continue to read my Roadcraft - Police Driver's Hand Book and watch more of your videos, to clarify the reading that I have done. Again, many thanks! :)

Always a pleasure to watch, and learn from, your videos Reg.

Very informative as usual. Can I suggest brake gear overlap avoidance is left in the 1960s, were it belongs. Modern dsg equipped car are in a constant state of brake gear overlap... Works fine.

Thanks so much, that presentation was really encouraging. I've been studying Roadcraft for quite a while now; you've actually convinced me to train for the test. Thanks again for a great video. 🚘☺

Just arrived home from receiving a 'First' on my IAMs Advanced Driver Test. I want to thank you 'Reg' for all that you contributed to that success, particularly through all these first class instructional videos. I think I now probably sound like you; I certainly found using some of your phrases helpful and a useful demonstration to the Examiner, and previously to my great instructor, that I knew what I was about.

Thank you for this, i have been a professional driver for 32 years now and finally taken the plunge to do the advanced test, i have done 4 runs now with IAM and could not believe how much there was to learn, watching this video helps me to understand what is ahead of me on test day so i can prepare with a bit of knowledge on what to expect, again thank you.

Thanks Reg.
Pleased to confirm I passed my test today. Made two stupid minor errors, otherwise my examiner said I’ve have got a first. So annoying.
Still none the less, I’m very happy to have passed & officially become a member . Keep up your good work 😊👍

Thank you for these videos. Would have never passed my response course without them. Keep doing what you do.

Hi Reg, Thank you for the most informative and enjoyable videos. The time and effort that you have put into making all these videos is absolutely fantastic and it makes for a thoroughly brilliant instructional package. I am watching and learning from your channel before signing up for the IAM course. Thank you for sharing all that knowledge and experience.

[daphnemorgan]

You've just settled my nerves. Thank you for that alone.

[marcelleking]

Thank you for these videos. They really help, especially the psychology involved. I’m just waiting to start my IAM course. So looking forward to it. I’ve watched most of your videos, and will watch again and again. Learn something new each time!

Another great video Reg. As an Observer with IAM, it is good to hear things from the Examiners point of view. I will be glad when we can get back to actively promoting road safety again.

[martinjarrett]

Thanks Reg.
Very interesting and informative as usual.
You’ve inspired me to take the course in the first place . Just passed my mock test & just had my test confirmed for 8th November. Wish me luck. Fingers crossed.
Regards Martin

The advanced driving test probable saved my life, following instruction from the police driving school in Devizes I passed the IAM test in a morris minor 1000. Its a great pity that not many young motorist do not go for it.

[yorkshirefazer]

many thanks for your vids Reg. got my cross check drive coming up and your videos have really helped me improve my driving standard. hoping to get a first, and if so, will be seriously considering the masters course. would love you to be my examiner, but being from Yorkshire it's a bit unlikely.

[vladimirl]

Excellent very useful video, Reg! You brought back memories of going through an advanced test! :). Excellent points in the video!!! Will watch again many times.

[stub]

I agree one hundered percent with what you've said, towards the end of the video. Brilliant!

[keww]

Thank you, due to take my advanced test, this video was so useful.

[jaciniranhaga]

I am trying to get a drive license, an ordinary one. But I am seeing your videos of advanced driving believing that, that may help me pass my driving test. For me it's particularly difficult to plan and react accordingly.

Anyway I just want to say thank you for your videos. You are an inspiration of how to be an authority in a profession of your choise. I hope one day I can became as good as you are to my clients in my profession.

Kind regards.
